My setup is
Epox 8K7A+
XP1800

I tried using Motherboard Monitor 5 but it didn't manage to monitor anything. Can someone help how to set it up for my board??
I then got VIA Hardware Monitor installed and it said my reading were: 2.5v = 0.29, 3.3v = 3.35, 5v = 5.08 and 12v = 12.43.
I am using an Antec SX840 case so I have tweaked the pots within psu to increase voltage.

I have the same error with an IWILL KK266R mobo. AFAIK, these mobos don't use 2.5 volts, thats the voltage for DDR RAM, I think. Not sure if there is a way to reconfigure the VIA monitor to ignore the 2.5V ?? Anybody know for sure ??

8K7A EpoX here with 1.4 Tbird and I get the same reading with VIA Monitro, 1.55V. Been running fine for about a month so I dont think it is anything to worry about. May be AGP4X voltage if you have a 4x card or possibly the DDR voltage but I doubt both.

You could always call EpoX tech support if you are worried.

Ive asked this same question here several times but no one has ever responded with a for sure answer so if you do get one here or elsewhere please PM me.
